The Planters ut schrieser Begin Grind

It was stated yesterday that Mr.. Paul La
oassagne, of Terrebonne, had again tele-
gralhed the State authorities for troops to
protect the recently employed laborers on
his place. On inquiry, however, nothing
definite could be obtained with reference to
the above, but the belief was generally en-
tertained here that nothing serious had oc-
Cured,
Mr. George Marshall. manager Of the
Waubun plantation ut SchrieyeT, La, tele-
grBphed Capt John T. Moore, Jr., to the ef-
fec. that more troops were necessary to pre-
serve order and prevent any damage in that
locality. He further stated that, although
ho had appealed to, he had not received any
assistance Whatsoever from sheriff Budds
SnbHequeutly, however, the following was
received, which would seem to indicate that
peaCe aud good oldsT had been restored:

Special TO The Democrat,
.JBANKBEFFE, Nov. 3.-ghe question of the
strike mas not vet been settled, but from all
appearances a satisfactory understanding
between the planters and their employees will
speedily be reached. There has been no dis
turbanoe or violation Of law on any Of the
neighboring plantations, and all parties in
terested in the exceptionally fine crops grow
ing oyinee a very decided disposition to re-
turn to 1heil' work with as little delay as pos
sible. There are few planters fully supplied
with labor, but the great majoTity, OF the
hands, including women, are still holding
out for higher wages.
